| Introduction Introduction |
Using clay that changes moment by moment, the artist shapes their thoughts into form, applies Oribe glaze (copper glaze), seals the piece in a saya (a container made of refractory clay) and charcoal, and fires it in a carbonized state to create an oxygen-deficient environment, resulting in a matte red color.
